Floor to Heaven by Jacob Resneck
Walk across a moonscape or tip-toe across the woods with these wildly creative artisan carpets. Made from the finest textiles the world has to offer, such as wool sourced from New Zealand and Tibet, Floor to Heaven is a line of handcrafted floor coverings that double as conceptual art pieces.
The brainchild of German-born Michaela Schleypen, Floor to Heaven sets a new standard in flooring decoration. From abstractions like a bitmapped planet earth (click for detail) to more traditional floral mosaics, clients can even assist in creating their own design.

Galen Trezise Crocheted Cozies
From the newly-opened Look boutique in SF, these handmade cozies have all the warm appeal of a sweater grandma made with an offbeat Dr. Seuss shape. According to the site, they're intended for vases but we think they'd be well-suited for dressing up a different household object that holds water and plant matter. With unusual colorways, ruffles and perforated weaves, they also hold their...

Riedel Decanters
New from the generations-old family glassware-makers Riedel, this series of decanters takes its inspiration from birds for a collection that's as striking as it is functional. Designed by Maximillian Riedel (also responsible for leading the stemless revolution) and his father Georg and handmade by artisans in their Austrian factory, the leaded crystal vessels are all aerodynamic lines and dramatic dimensions. While the Swan (above...

Rise and Fall Floral Love Pillow

The Brooklyn-based design collective designed this black and white floral print with skulls cleverly hidden into the pattern (click on image for detailed view). Made by hand, the pillow fits in nicely with Rise and Fall's other efforts...

Isolyn
Isolyn for their texture-heavy rugs that blend in felted cocoons and bubbles with sustainable materials like leather, sheepskin, and wool. The protruding forms also make for unexpected foot and body massages, and since head designer Michelle Butler once competed in synchronized ice-skating, we'll trust that she knows all about foot relief. The British company was featured at the recent ICFF show in New York...
